Freelance Video Editor, Graphic Designer & Creative Director
Creative strategy and execution across design, film and campaigns.
Samuel Pollard is a 90s kid brought up on Pokémon, PlayStation 2 and David Attenborough documentaries. A creative all-rounder and appreciator of the natural world based in the Essex seaside town of Leigh-on-Sea.
I work across design, film, campaigns, operations and comms, making ideas and projects feel clear, engaging and built to last. I’ve made a film for ZSL, produced reports and fundraising campaigns for WWF, managed comms and supported programme delivery at Count Us In and created digital content for Green Football and Earth FC. Alongside creative work, I’ve regularly supported senior stakeholders through briefing materials, meeting coordination and follow-through.
At times, I’m a graphic designer, web designer, video editor, filmmaker, animator, copywriter or creative director. The titles change depending on the project, but the theme is the same: helping teams think clearly, work well together and deliver good work in complex environments.
WWF 65th Anniversary Film
Script | Edit | Footage Selection | Rotoscoping | Creative Direction
To mark WWF's 65th anniversary, I was commissioned to create the flagship piece of content for both internal celebrations and external channels. I wrote the script, curated the footage and oversaw the full edit—including bespoke rotoscoping to seamlessly integrate key typographic supers across people and nature, weaving the spoken word into the visual world of the film. I also selected and directed the voiceover artist to bring the right tone and gravitas.
The film served as the centrepiece of WWF's anniversary moment across all platforms, accumulating over 559,000 views and 13,500+ likes on Instagram alone, with thousands of additional views and engagements across other channels.

Past clients and collaborators include WWF International, Zoological Society of London, University College London, L'Oréal, Garnier, Armani, Sky Sports, TNT Sports, Count Us In, Green Football, Earth FC, Final Third and Whitewater Graphics — delivering video production, editing, graphic design, motion design, branding, campaign content and communications across environmental, broadcast, sport and luxury fashion sectors.
“Sam was an absolute joy to work with. He is one of the most incredibly talented and creative content producers I’ve ever come across. His design thinking and innovative approach to problem-solving were integral to the delivery of some incredible projects — surpassing ambitious targets and expectations.”
— Joe Dix, Director of Digital, WWF International
